A mother and her daughter have made their wedding day extra special --- by having a joint ceremony.

Kim Milhano, 28, and Susan Scott-Williams, 51, got married together after their partners suggested the best friends share their special day. The pair, who are often mistaken for sisters, combined their weddings at a hotel near their homes in Bristol. Mother-of-two Kim said: “Sharing my big day with another bride could made it feel half as special but it actually brought us double the joy. My mum and I are the best mates and so the whole day was perfect.”

Kim, a care assistant, and her husband Carlos, 45, a construction worker, had been engaged for eight years but never got round to tying the knot. It was only when her mother found love for the second time that her new partner Barry, 46, a painter and decorator, and Carlos worked together to convince the girls of their idea for a double wedding. Kim and Susan then spent months planning their big day together choosing different dresses but matching bridesmaid gowns, bouquets and music.

After walking up two aisles in a V-shape, the brides met their husbands for their ceremonies, which were followed by a huge party for 180 people, including the families of brides and grooms. And because they had one giant wedding instead of two, the family managed to save a quarter of the cost of the ￡8,000 event.

Kim said, “When Carlos rang me and said ‘I think you need to sit down’, I was worried one of the kids was hurt. So it was a bit of a relief when he said he wanted to have a double wedding with my mum and Barry. Up until then day-to-day life had taken over and we’d never had time or the money to plan a wedding.” “Mum and Barry were happy for us to do things completely our way because they’ve both been married before but it was her wedding too and I didn’t want to take over. So we planned everything together ----it’s what our whole family is like. Thankfully we never had a difference of opinion!”
